Set in Nordinia, a city fortified against dark forces, Abyss World is an up-and-coming third-person ARPG game where players can engage in epic battles and thrilling adventures. This immersive realm, brimming with soul fragments and Shattered Lands, is scheduled for its private test in Q2 2023, with a public alpha planned for Q3 2023 focusing initially on PVE gameplay.
The Game Setting and Gameplay
Abyss World is set in the enchanting city of Nordinia, a fortress city perched at the edge of the world. In this city, players, referred to as Bannerlords, are tasked with defending their territories from the encroaching dark forces.
At the core of the gameplay are Heroic Souls, characters with diverse abilities and rich backstories. Players can collect and train these Souls, assembling teams to venture into the Shattered Lands – a domain fraught with challenges, rewards, and powerful enemies.
Players in Abyss World can freely roam Nordinia, performing a variety of tasks, combating invaders, and participating in seasonal boss invasion events. The Shattered Lands, another major area in the game, offers a domain for open adventure and PvE. Here, players can form teams to explore the diverse regions, collect resources, and engage in combat with evil creatures.
Classes and Races
The game showcases a variety of classes and races for players to explore. The classes range from Warriors and Mushas, known for their prowess in physical combat, to Mages and Engineers who specialize in magic attacks and manufacturing respectively. Another class, Explorers, offers a unique blend of adventure and luck-based gameplay. Additionally, players have a chance to control their territory as Bannerlords.
In terms of races, the game features Humans, Orne, Seracoron, and Sigma Elves, each with their distinct attributes and racial characteristics. These details not only add depth to the gameplay but also create diverse strategic possibilities for the players.
Gazer NFT Collection and Its Benefits to Players
A notable development in the Abyss World journey has been the introduction of the Gazer NFT mint event. This was an exclusive benefit available to early Abyss World community members. A total of 2,100 genesis NFTs were minted, broken down into 1,000 discounted whitelists, 1,000 regular NFTs, and 100 airdrops. These NFTs are now available for purchase on OpenSea.
The NFT collection, divided into distinct rarities, consisted of 1,163 NFTs of R rarity, 582 NFTs of SR rarity, 292 NFTs of SSR rarity, and 63 NFTs of the ultra-rare SP rarity. The SP rarity NFTs were not available for minting and could only be obtained through auction.
These NFTs are not just collectibles. Holders of Gazer NFTs are eligible for a host of benefits, adding an extra layer of excitement to the gaming experience. These benefits include exclusive passes for private testing and Open Beta testing, unique in-game weapons and equipment airdrops, and airdrops of $AWT (native token) & $SUI tokens.
Token Reward Mechanism
Contrary to many GameFi projects, Abyss World opts for a more complex token reward mechanism. It does not simply reward players who spend substantial time on menial tasks. Instead, it grants rewards to teams completing unique tasks in the PvE section, individuals reaching high ranks on the game leaderboard, and winners of PvP arena seasons.
Looking Ahead
The game’s creators have planned a comprehensive roll-out, with a private test scheduled for Q2 2023, followed by a public alpha release in Q3 2023, which will emphasize PVE mechanics. On the horizon is the full web3 version launch, which will expand the game’s features to include both PVP and PVE mechanics. This continuous evolution is set to provide an ever-growing, thrilling experience for its players.
